There are a couple on YouTube on the Durham student channel but you may also be able to find them on tik Tok for each college (possibly on their JCR page)

Durham are notoriously late with replies. They said this year they will get all their replies done by 31/3/2023, but some applicants get an earlier offer. This can be because Durham is trying to compete with the oxbridge applicants for students, so Durham tries to get their offers out to those people sooner. Head to the thread for Durham applicants 2024 and there is a link to a google sheets with loads of applicants current application process to Durham.
How will Durham know if students have applied for Oxbridge to get offers to those applicants sooner?

Of course! Hoping for an earlier rather than later offer since the college choices are on a first come, first served basis!

I thought they started college allocation in May? And they will get all offers done by 31/3/23, so everyone will have equal college chance if they firm Durham?
I just checked my college application confirmation email and it says "You will be able to amend your choices up until the college allocation process runs in May."
